Is there anything i can do to help an irregular menstrual cycle become regular? it has been almost a year since i last received a depo-provera shot. i have had one cycle about 7months after getting my last shot (which was very heavy). then after i had 2 m

Many : Many women do not start ovulating until 10 months after stopping Depo-Provera injections. If you are not ovulating regularly, then you will not have a period. Since it has been a year, it is a good idea to see your doctor to investigate the ongoing mentral cycle irregularity by way of pelvic exam. There is nothing you can do, short of taking hormone therapy (like birth control pills) to regulate you cycle, if you are trying to get pregnant. However if you are interested in getting pregnant, you should see your doctor about prenatal care and supplements to help prepare your body for pregnancy.

Find out why: A GYN MD exam can find out shy the period is irregular. If it was irregular prior to Depo Provera then this may simply be a continuation of that pattern. If not, ovulation may be sporadic at best due to any number of factors including thyroid disorders, ovarian cysts, etc.

Depo-porvera: I have seen irregular to absent menses post depo-provera. Would get full work up as mentioned including ultrasound for polycystic ovarian syndrome and consider w/u with fertility specialist. Discuss if metformin might help restore periods as it is used in polycystic ovarian syndrome.
